Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 149

His mind went completely blank, overwhelmed by a tidal wave of panic. For a moment, he had no idea how to even react!

At that exact moment, Tessa put on an act of waking up from her faint, calling out to him weakly, "Elias..."

When no answer came, she instinctually glanced over, only to be met with a terrifyingly twisted expression!

Elias glared furiously at his phone screen, his eyes burning with rage.

A sudden wave of dread washed over Tessa. She tentatively tugged at his sleeve. "Elias...?"

Before she could even finish, Elias violently shoved her away!

Tessa's arm slammed against the bedside table with a heavy thud. She let out a cry of pain, clutching her wrist as tears welled up in her eyes.

In the past, if Elias saw her like this, he would have instantly pulled her into his arms to comfort her.

But right now, he didn't have the slightest sliver of patience for it!

He glared at Tessa as if looking at a sworn enemy. "Why do you constantly provoke Willow?!"

Tessa froze, her pale face washing with shock. Before she could form a response, Elias snatched up his suit jacket and stormed out.

He didn't spare her a single backward glance.

Tessa was left utterly bewildered, having no idea what had just happened.

Meanwhile, Elias drove straight to The Landon Group headquarters and immediately convened an emergency board meeting.

The scandal online was spreading like wildfire. In just half an hour, the entire internet was in an uproar, with protestors already gathering outside the building holding banners and demanding justice!

Seeing the chaos, Elias's stomach dropped. He didn't even dare use the main entrance, humiliatingly sneaking in through a side door.

The moment he stepped into the conference room, he met his father's furious gaze.

Lawrence Landon's face was dark with suppressed rage as he marched silently toward him.
